“Michael was wonderful with my dog Shelby. He showed up on time each day, and was gentle and patient with her. (She was reluctant to go out sometimes). He communicated with me each day about how it went. Shelby acquainted herself quickly with Michael and started to look forward to her walks. I would highly recommend him. He's definitely a dog lover and is responsible and communicative. Thanks Mike!”
“Joey is always happy when Gabrielle comes by. She puts about a mile on him each visit, and he's gotten a lot perkier. I can't recommend Gabrielle and Rover more.”
“This was my first time using Rover, Alex has been super helpful when we needed a dog walker the most with a new baby on the way. My rescue coonhound Eddie can be a bit much at times but she made him feel really comfortable. Alex is friendly, reliable, and professional I would recommend her to anyone needing a dog walker or sitter”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m a cat owner myself and have two wonderful female cats. I’m passionate about providing care. I volunteer at the SPCA and received training in both feline and canine behavior and handling. I regularly attend cat adoption events to help cats find loving homes. A few years ago, my family drove hours to adopt my now 4 year old cat, Francis, after finding her through a Craigslist listing. I’ve also sat pets for family and friends, cats and dogs. I have experience caring for small animals such as hamsters, gerbils, and mice. I use SEPTA and Lyft for transportation, for that reason, I prefer bookings within Philly. My services are available to you and your pet 24/7. My personal routine is very flexible! Your pet comes first and will always be under my supervision during the stay. I am Fear Free® certified and aim for every pet to feel safe and comfortable in my care. I follow any given instructions and keep you updated during the stay with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“For having a literal herd (4 dogs) Michael walks them three times a week and spends quality time getting to know each one to make sure they get their energy out. I would recommend him for all your pet care needs.”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have always helped out taking care of my friend’s cats and dogs. When it comes to taking full care of other people’s pets I’ve done a couple of pet sitting jobs in the past year or so. While home from college I have free time almost everyday for most of the day! While I may need to go home to check on my own pets or family I can usually spend most of the day with your pets. I’m a bit of a night owl so morning can be rough but I thrive in the late morning and afternoon! I can’t have pets come over to my house because of my cats, but when at your house I can always be there for your animal! Whether they are playing or just want company while lounging at home!
“I am so relieved to have found someone who was able to connect with my 20 month old 110 lb white Shepard. Kimba has a traumatic history and I have worked really hard to rehab him mentally since adopting him a few months ago. He immediately took to Anthony and put his fear-based aggression aside. Anthony constantly sent me updates with photos and followed all my requests to keep Kimba on his daily routine. I highly recommend Anthony to care for your dog.”
“Robert was amazing with my dog, Teddy! He was reliable, kind, and made sure Teddy got plenty of exercise and attention. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos as it gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Teddy loved him, and I’d definitely book Robert again!”
About: I have never lived in a household without a fur baby being present. We've own big and small dogs, a cat, and even a bunny at one point. Being a pet owner is all I've ever known so I am pretty confident in my knowledge of pets and just pet parent intuition. I have recently left my full time job and started my own photography business so my schedule is extremely flexible and open. The only day I am typically unavailable is Sundays. I promise to treat every pet baby as if they were my own. I know that pets are more like family than anything so you/they would have a friend in me.
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was a young child and have 2 of my own that I am absolutely obsessed with! Cats are my speciality. I currently work in Philadelphia as a visiting infusion nurse Monday-Thursday 10hr shifts. And have more availability Friday-Sunday. But also can be available after my shift if needed! I provide attentive, reliable care for pets in my clients' homes so they can stay comfortable in their own environment. I follow each individual pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of affection and attention. I will also provide photos and videos for owners to give them peace of mind!

About: Hello this is Santiago, If your dog loves to burn off energy, they will love hanging out with me! I am very playful and love nothing more than a high-intensity game of catch in the backyard or at the park. If a game of fetch isn't their thing, I am always down to run around and play whatever games they enjoy.Just like the sweet, massive pups I’ve cared for in the past, I bring a patient, loving "Gentle Giant" energy to every visit. Don't worry if your dog is on the smaller side, either—I am incredibly mindful of my size and know exactly how to be soft, gentle, and encouraging with smaller dogs and cats so they feel completely safe and secure around me. Pet care fits perfectly into my morning and evening routines! I dedicate my early mornings and late afternoons/evenings entirely to drop-in visits, walks, and playtime. This routine is ideal for working pet parents who need someone reliable to check on their furry friends before and after the workday. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety and trust are my top priorities.Inside the Home: I strictly follow the owner's entry and exit instructions, ensuring doors and gates are securely locked behind me. I provide a calm environment, refresh food and water, clean up any messes, and give lots of affection. As a gentle giant, I am highly mindful of my size and make sure to approach smaller dogs and cats softly so they feel completely safe. If the dog is high-energy, we will spend time playing catch or running around the yard to burn off energy safely.On Walks: I maintain total control of the leash at all times. My physical strength allows me to easily manage large, powerful breeds like German Shepherds or hunting dogs if they pull or encounter a distraction. I stay alert to our surroundings, avoid unknown dogs, and ensure your pet stays safe, happy, and well-exercised before tucking them safely back into their home.
About: I am a dog person. I have one large breed dog. I have watched big dogs , little dogs. Puppies to elderly dogs. I walk them around the block or to the park. Whatever their needs are I am the perfect person to care for them. I will care for them as if they were my own. I dn't mind if they want to sleep on my bed or they want to snuggle on the couch. Your pet will be in great hands in my home or in your home. I am honest and very reliable. Your pet will be in great loving arms and cared for. I can give you updates too. My home is your pets home. I have plenty of room. So come and visit us. I am available during the summer and weekends and night time.
About: Long-time Dog Lover and Owner Here! I’ve had dogs since I was 6 years old, ranging from Beagles to Pits but I love all breeds of dogs. Over the years I’ve done lots of dog sitting for friends and family and am always up for some good play time and cuddle time with doggos. I’m experienced with administering medication to dogs and cats. I’m also a quick learner and will be very mindful about particular requests in caring for your dog. I love to walk all over the city and look forward to taking your fur babies along with me!. If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to meeting you and spoiling your pups with lots of love! Note: Unfortunately, I cannot care for or accommodate cats as I am highly allergic :( I currently work mornings until 2pm and live close to work so I have full afternoons and evenings available for your fur baby. I’m also off on weekends and have open availability. I have a fenced in yard and no pets currently. I do have a 5-year-old child but she has been around dogs and is very kind and gentle with them. However, your dog must be ok with small children. I also live in a neighborhood with wide sidewalks and a nearby playground making it super easy to walk your dog. I also have a car so I can easily drive to places in the area to for drop-in visits and dog sitting.
About: Since I was eight years old, I have been surrounded by animals, including dogs, cats, horses, cows, and even pet chickens. I developed a deep love for animals, and on my parents' farm, I currently have five dogs and two cats. Now living in New Jersey, I continue to share my life with my two beloved pets, Nicco and Hortense. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need, whether through walks, playtime, or simply relaxing together. With a flexible schedule, I can accommodate different needs and provide a safe, loving environment. Your pet will be in great hands! I check that the home is safe for the pet, eliminating potential hazards and ensuring there is no access to prohibited areas. I try to keep the environment as close as possible to the pet's home environment. I follow the routines and guidelines established by the client to minimize stress

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverton
Fiona was right on time - early, in fact, as it was her first walk with our dog, who took to her right away. After learning a bit about Lilly and her preferences, Fiona took her out for a good walk, and gave me a synopsis (and a picture) when they returned. Lilly's already looking forward to her next visit.
Wondered how I would find a dog walker my dogs know on Thanksgiving Day. Naomi to the rescue! I knew I could depend on her to come while we would be gone for several hours and the dogs just love her. They ate well but a little hesitant to walk. Naomi offered to walk a second time, but I knew they would be ok till we go home. And they were. Thanks so much Naomi and I know we will always contact you first.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Riverton on Rover is $18.9 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Riverton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Riverton.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverton. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
